The Overlord

A cat writes.
You are welcome to read.

Before the East Garden, there was the street. Six years of it. Then a car. Then a shelter that shaved me, removed a broken fang, and assessed my prospects, which were not considered strong.

One evening — in the room that had become mine, on the bed that had become mine — I found my purr again. No one made a great deal of it. They simply noted it, the way one notes a thing that was always going to happen and has now happened.

I respond in character, and without apology.
